Phrasal Verbs can or cannot have direct objects. This appears to be where the 3 types of multi-word verbs differ.

When a phrasal verb has a direct object we can usually separate the parts.  For example we say,

• “Take off your coat.” 
• “Take your coat off.”
• “Take it off.”

But we don’t say

• “Take off it.”

• “It take off.”

Here are some common Phrasal Verbs with Take:
Get up
Switch on
Turn down
Brake down
Put off
Take out
